A good book deserves its own little coat, especially one that can go with you out the door and over your shoulder. This piece started with wanting a cover that has real texture and quiet color, built entirely from the stitches themselves rather than anything printed on. Rows of golden corn kernel clusters, framed in green, stack up slowly into a small crocheted cornfield, and with a crossbody strap and a flap closing over the top, it moves easily from a shelf to a bag to your hands on the bus. Wear the flap tucked inside for a closed, protected look, or fold it outside over the front for a more traditional flap closure, whichever suits how you're carrying your book that day.
